20 July 2009 - A Propitious Misadventure - the first part in our series about the 17th century Dutch colony of New Netherland.
400 years ago, in 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson set off on a Dutch ship called the Half Moon. This "propitious misadventure" would result in a Dutch colony called New Netherland in the uncharted wilds of North America. We'll take you aboard the Half Moon and introduce you to Hudson himself.
